"Allah Miya! You girls! Fahad beta now you tell me what to do with them? The groom's family is on the door, and they are still busy doing there touch-ups!" Aksa slapped her forehead scolding the girls.
Seher and Rabiya were still fixed to the mirror while Meher was busy admiring herself. Fahad knew it wasn't of any use telling these girls to hurry up, so he thought for a while and then brought out a camera. He started taking random pictures of the girls irritating them.
"Jiju! Stop it!" Seher shouted.
Fahad continued to click their pictures in those touch up doing poses.
"Fahad! Please!" Rabiya yelled in soft tone but she knew her husband was stronger than her.
"I'll stop at a condition if you girls go downstairs now and look after the guest. Ammijaan takes them down." Fahad said keeping the camera's down.
The girls left the room with Aksa. Fahad was about to leave when he saw Meher who looked stressed out.
"What happened?" He asked taking a seat beside her.
"I'm afraid." She replied keeping her head on his shoulder.
"Afraid? And you? These 2 words don't match up together young lady!" He said trying to calm her down.
"Jiju, what if Hamid's family doesn't allow me to come here frequently? I want to be with my family. And what if his mother becomes like a T.V. serial mother-in-law or something? And what if..."
"Oye! Give your little brain some rest!" He cut her in between.
"Hamid is a nice guy and so is the family. They will accept you as to how you are. Beside Hamid loves you, and he cares for you. Now stop being worried else the combo of blush and that weird look, looks horrible." He made a face and then they both rolled on the floor laughing.
Meher hugged Fahad. Rabiya was watching the scene from the window. She felt proud of her husband. Her decision to marry him was worth it. "Oogling at your husband?" Sana teased Rabiya.
"He is worth it! The best husband any girl could get!" She said proudly. Sana side hugged her and admired the jiju-sali bond.
"Bhaiyu return that now!" Seher shouted on top of her voice. Sana saw her running after Ayaan. He had a paper bag in his hand. She looked at them surprised.
"Isn't that my bag?" Sana asked Seher. She simply nodded and the very next moment she started to run after Ayaan too.
"Ayaan give that back!" She shouted.
"Take it if you can!" He teased her.
They ran all around the house. Finally, Ayaan stopped but he raised his hand with the bag. Sana was not able to reach his hight. She tried a lot jumping like a monkey. "Plese give it back!" She said somewhat yelled.
Suddenly Ayaan felt his grip over the bag was lost.
"You know you can't always take advantage of your hight!" Danish said with a smirk on his face taking the bag from his hand.
"Danish Bhai!" Sana ran to hug him.
"I missed you so much!" She added hugging him.
"Missed you too sweetheart." He replied caressing her face.
"Hey, buddy! What's up?" Ayaan asked extending his hand to him.
"Just had a talk with your chiki." He replied shaking his hand.
"Chiki! Is she coming?" Ayaan asked.
"Nope. She fears she won't be able to make it to the wedding too." Danish sighed.
"Chiki?" Sana pouted.
"You have grown with her and you still don't know her pet name. Shame on you Sana." Ayaan teased her.
"Who is she?" She asked again but this time with a determined face that said answer-else-face-my-wrath.
"Relax, he is talking about Mahira! No one else!" Ayaan tried to calm her down.
"Oh! Mahira is Chiki. Wait... that means... she isn't coming to this wedding too?" Sana said taking pauses in between her words.
"Yes." Both the boys sighed.
"Anyways, Mahira reminds me of Umad. Where is he?" Danish asked in a strange tone.
"No clue! Hasn't shown up since morning." Ayaan said and Sana nodded in agreement.
"Might be in the office," Rabiya said joining the group.
"Yeah, as if he really will work on Meher's engagement." Sana taunted.
"Allah Malik, give this couple some senses. They both haven't talked since Mahira left for Canada." Rabiya prayed.
"And who knows whether they want to marry or not," Ayaan added.
"Can't say about Chiki, but Umad wants this marriage as soon as possible," Danish said calming the heating situation.
"Can't say about Umad bhai, but Mahira is not getting married without this guy being his groom." Rabiya winked at Sana.
All of them laughed and talked on some random stuff. They were all worried about Mahira and Umad's relation. Almost 4 years have passed and these two haven't talked to each other. Both the families wanted Mahira's marriage before Meher's as Mahira was elder than her.
"If you guys are done with your future planning can we move towards my future too?" Hamid entered the room in his Maroon sherwani. He looked amazing in it. He wore Dhoti below it.
"Someone is being restless!" Fahad teased him.
"Actually all the guests have arrived I think we can start with the rituals," Sana said.
"I think you are right!" Ayaan flirted.
"You guys can romance some time else right now let me at least get engaged." Hamid scolded Ayaan making Sana blush red.
"Can we get the bride?" Seher asked her mother.
"Yes." She smiled.
Seher, Rabiya and Sana went upstairs to bring down Meher.
"Rabiya appi, I have a doubt. How come our parents agreed to let the bride and groom exchange rings on there own? I mean as far as I remember, it was the parents who used to do it till this time." Seher asked walking towards Meher's room.
"Umad convinced everyone," Rabiya replied.
"No one can win from him!" Seher said as she opened the door.
"Appi! Time to go down!" Seher teased Meher.
"I think she isn't interested. Aren't you?" Rabiya added.
"Stop it you too. Can we finish it soon? I'm damn hungry." Meher replied trying to hide her blush.
"Ain't you just had a full plate Biryani?" Sana asked shocked.
"Bhukkad! (Foody) after the rituals eat as much as you want." Rabiya scolded her.
The girls took Meher downstairs. She was looking stunning in her red Lehenga. Her hands were full of bangles and mehendi. Her eyelashes were down. She was nervous.
He saw her coming downstairs. He was sitting on a big Sofa. His eyes were glaring at her. His mouth dropped to the floor on seeing such a beauty. He stood up as she came close to him.
She lifted up her face and their eyes matched. She gave him a smile.
"MA Sha Allah, you look beautiful." Amina, Hamid's mother caressed her cheeks.
"Thank you." She replied.
She sat beside him. Seher brought a ring for Hamid from Meher's side while Kaif brought the ring for Meher from Hamid's side.
Hamid took the ring from Kaif and slipped it onto Meher's finger.

Meher took the ring, she was about to ask Hamid for his hand when a familiar voice interrupted.
"Stop!" He shouted entering the house.
"How can you begin without me?" He added frowning.
"Umad!" Meher shouted on top of her voice.
"Where the hell were you?" Hamid added in the same pitch.
"Went to buy a gift!" Umad replied smiling.
"Sorry for being late guys and actually I thought... forget it... so she didn't come?" Umad added looking here and there as if searching for someone.
"Nope." Sana sighed. She understood he was asking for Mahira.
"Can't help it. May be busy." He smiled and ignored the situation.
Umad was not much happy, he thought she might come today but as usual, she gave her work more importance on her family.
"Umad bhai, please let her finish!" Hamid said pointing on the ring in Meher's hand.
"Oh, sorry. Meher what are you waiting for?" He said extending Hamid's hand.

She slipped the ring in his ring finger and then they both shared a sweet dish.
The family overjoyed. Everyone had dinner and then the youngsters finally got some time alone. But the condition was from today, Meher and Hamid can't face each other.
